PROFITABILITY AND EFFICIENCY OF PRODUCTION INPUTS ON RICE FARMING AT KARANGANYAR, CENTRAL JAVA-INDONESIA
Abstract
Increasing rice productivity and quality is sustainable efforts carried out continually. Socio-economic farmer’s characteristics, profits and efficiency study in using production inputs on rice farming was successfully carried out using survey method from 30 farmers with structured questionnaire sampled randomly in Jetis sub-district, Karanganyar district, Central Java. Data analysis was done using descriptive statistics, profit analysis and production function. The results showed that rice farming at Karanganyar district, uniquely, was supported by productive age of farmers with more than 20 years’ experiences and 86.7% of family labor. Revenue cost ratio (RCR) of the rice farming was high up to 2.26 mainly influenced by farm size, urea fertilizer and labor. Though the rice farming had high RCR, the farming was still backed up by not efficient yet and inefficient status of production inputs, except labor. Collaboration of farmers, local-national government and utilization of technologies is recommended to improve the rice farming.
